”In the Donetsk sector, the illegal armed groups fired 120mm and 82mm mortars near the towns of Avdiyivka and Krasnohorivka, and the villages of Novhorodske and Nevelske,” the press center said.

The Kremlin-backed invaders were also active near the town of Maryinka. After dark and during the night, the militants attacked the Ukrainian positions 15 times, using infantry fighting vehicles, small arms, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars. In addition, the snipers were working there,” the report says.
